Well Amen to that.
I may not be a widely-published media wossname, but I would like to
present my scholarly analysis of this.
Namely that people finally got bored of a tired and shallow metaphor,
and realised that saying it, like prepending everything with "cyber-"
was a great way to avoid being taken seriously.
This year's language fad is "e-"everything. I hope it goes the same
way.
Thanks then.
